Published in 1996, the book presents itself as a kind of fictional encyclopedia: a collection of invented biographies of writers from the Americas, all linked, more or less directly, to fascism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolaño constructs a meticulous catalogue of names, titles, dates, and imaginary literary movements, recreating with irony and documentary precision a parallel history of literature. Behind the humour and parody, the book offers a somber reflection on the relationship between art and ideology.
